Smokescreen from Automaton shipping?

[Rev]

Anyone else notice that Automaton raised their shipping? I found out when I was billed for Fortis and Smokescreen.

Also, did the MP prices go up? The Not Bruticus figures as well?

Yeah, noticed my preorder for mp-08 went up $25. I guess to account for the dropping canadian dollar.

I noticed that. I was emailing Mario about something a few months ago and he mentioned that he might have to do away with the flat rate shipping altogether. He said with both order stacking and flat rate, he loses a lot of money on the shipping. I told him if I had to choose, I'd pick order stacking over flat rate shipping. I am not in any huge hurry to get my toys shipped ASAP upon release, and don't mind stacking an order to save a bit on shipping. I guess he decided just to raise the flat-rate price a bit for now. Works for me, there' not many (any?) other stores that offer both services.

The web site says D is shipping.

my friends and I have had nothing but bad experiences with automaton.

Shipping delays past two months, pre-orders not being reserved, and then sold to other people.

Not good

Shipping label created... So should arrive this week.

Yup - I got a shipping 'label created' notice too - good to know that it's finally shipping! But - I never did hear back from Automaton re shipping date (going back a week ago)...
